The Caesar is the salad that moved greens from the side-dish to a main-course entree!

The salad is named after Chef Caesar Cardini who first whisked up this romaine lettuce and egg dressing combo at a Tijuana restaurant in 1924.  It's been one of the most popular salad recipes in the world ever since.

Great Caesar's Salad! - a history 

The history and background of the Caesar Salad.
Urban Legends Reference Pages: Food (Caesar Salad Daze)
Was 'Caesar salad' invented by, or named for, Julius Caesar?
Caesar salad - Wikipedia
Caesar salad is a traditional salad often prepared tableside. It is sometimes termed the "king" of salads.
CAESAR SALAD
This wondrous salad, with all its tableside showmanship by waiters, became a sensation in America soon after its invention. To many, including myself, this is the king of salads. It was probably the first 'main course' salad, and topped with chicken or fish is truly a main course.

Caesar Salad Recipes 

welcome to caesar-salad.com
The creation of Caesar's Salad has been attributed to an Italian, Caesar Cardini, who at the time was a restaurateur in Tijuana, Mexico. According to records, supplies in the Cardini establishment ran short one holiday weekend in 1924. Caesar experimented and that evening the Caesar's Salad was born. "Take everything to the table" he said, "and make a ceremony of fixing the salad".

Salad Dressing Bottles

One thing I found that made making homemade salad dressings a lot easier was having a really nice bottle for mixing the dressing and pouring it.

To Egg or To Faux Egg... That Is The Question 

caesar salads can be varied to suite many dietary preferences

One of the biggest questions I get asked about how I make my caesar salads is, do I use raw egg?



I have, but not all caesar salad recipes call for raw egg. Traditionally, you do use raw egg in the dressing, but uncooked or under-cooked egg is a great way to get food poisoning. If your body is very sensitive to what you eat, if your immune system is challenged, if you aren't making this dressing and then serving it immediately, or if you don't have a source for very fresh, organic eggs, I often suggest that people make a variation of this recipe that does not call for raw egg.

There are some great egg substitutes on the market now, and I frequently use those in place of raw egg. There are also variations of the dressing where the egg is "coddled" which is where you put it in boiling for water for about a minute, and it comes out less cooked than soft-boiled. You may have to try a few versions of caesar salad to find out which works best for you.
